How do we ensure that the use of AI for Holocaust memory and education is critically informed? How can AI models be used to enhance the memorialisation and pedagogical aims of the Holocaust memory and heritage sector? Whilst there is an emerging body of theoretical literature on this topic, there still remains a dearth of empirical answers. Our working group brings together an interdisciplinary group of academics, from the cognitive and communication sciences, and humanities, and memory practitioners to explore these urgent questions. We will use a design-led research methodology and be influenced by the development of working papers to adopt a mixed-method approach combining arts and science methodologies.

Rapidly-evolving sociopolitical and technological elements further exacerbate journalists’ increased vulnerability. Our study seeks to understand the evolving nature of conflict reporting through the lenses of technological transformation and expanding conflict environments.

PolarNar will explore the power of polarizing visual narratives. In our highly visual society polarization is often developed by and through images. Images that support and propagate specific narratives about politics, identity or climate. Building on an extensive dataset of European social media visual content, PolarNar will investigate how activists and political actors visually represent issues connected with the climate debate and what role these visual narratives play in the existing polarization around the topic.

In 2022, the European Union (EU) underscored the need to build synergies between digital and green transitions – two paradigmatic shifts proposed lately in response to global economic and environmental challenges (Joint Research Centre, 2022). The working group aims to address the conceptual groundwork required for critically interfacing the two transitions. The key goal of the working group is to build a shared conceptual vocabulary from an anthropological perspective, while borrowing from other allied disciplines, to address the challenges and possibilities of thinking these processes together.
